A review by ostrava
The Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson
5.0
Though there's some Christian influences that I'm not enough of an expert to notice, the myths are enjoyed more as a constant narration like the one in the Gylfaginning (which happened to be my favourite section in all of the Eddas).
The whole thing is just amazing. So many cool stories, so much cool imagery... chaotic too, but it works in its favor imo.
I skipped the Háttatal and I think I might have read an abridged version of the Skáldskaparmál, but it's all good. The first chapter is what matters, really.
